OT Sale - Mass storage device

[penance]

I have a DDS4 (DAT 40) tape drive sat here feeling very lonely.
Its configured for external use and has very low hours of use, more or less brand new.

its badged as a fujitsu drive but is an HP mechanism inside.

Open to good offers

I also have one configured for internal use

This still up for grabs, you've not posted a price for these, I'd be interested in an internal one, but would I need a difference scsi card? I have a standard scsi card at the moment. drop me an email lee AT lhatkins DOT co DOT uk and let me know.

If not already sold, I'd also be interested. Does it require a SCSI card? I don't have one. Even if you've sold it, still interested in the price. Using DVD+R for backups atm but a DAT drive would be way better

Hi Micheal

One of the internal drives may be sold, but i have a few others and also the external.
Yup it needs a SCSI card, ill see what i can do on that side.
Let me know wich one your interested in.

 

[michaelab]

Interested in external, depending on the price. No idea what these things cost new even! I should be able to sort out a SCSI card myself, just let me know what the specs should be - or are they all the same these days?

Micheal

the card needs to be a SCSI 68 pin, like the ultra series
As to price, im not sure, i know they retail for loads and these drives are more or less new.
PM me an offer

OK - just had a quick look around for new drives and looks like the cost in the region of £7-800 And then I'd have to get a SCSI adapter for £100+ aswell so, even if you were selling the drives for half of retail I'd have to pass.

Sorry to waste your time, I had no idea these things were so pricey :shame:

Michael.
